Refurbishing Ravensbury Court as part of the potential regeneration of Ravensbury

................

We are looking at

......................

The renovation of home interiors was the priority for Circle Housing Merton Priory tenants when discussing the refurbishment of Ravensbury Court

Kitchens and bathrooms that are not considered to be in a reasonable state of repair will be refurbished under the requirements of the Merton Standard.

Information for tenants If the regeneration/ refurbishment goes ahead it would not affect your tenancy rights in any way. As a tenant of Circle Housing Merton Priory you would keep all your existing rights and your tenancy agreement would not be affected. If we regenerate and refurbish Ravensbury it would have no impact on rents for existing tenants. The rent you pay would continue to be in line with the terms of your current tenancy agreement and all the other Circle Housing Merton Priory tenants. If the decision is made not to proceed with the regeneration/refurbishment then the programme of improvements under the housing transfer with Merton Council will be carried out as promised.

We are looking at options for the parking arrangements for Ravensbury Court and Hengelo Gardens which can either provide more parking or more green spaces.

Many residents wanted better parking in the area, but said this should be balanced with green space

Refurbishing Ravensbury Court as part of the potential regeneration of Ravensbury Information for leaseholders If the regeneration/ refurbishment goes ahead it would not affect your leaseholder agreement in any way. If we regenerate and refurbish Ravensbury the contribution by leasholders towards the work to Ravensbury Court will be capped by government legislation. More information on these costs will be provided with the Residents’ Offer later this year. If the decision is made not to proceed with the regeneration/refurbishment then the programme of improvements under the housing transfer with Merton Council will, of course, be carried out as promised. If you have any questions or queries please contact your regeneration officer, Farrida Deen on 02034418518 or email [email protected]
